TO ALL WIIOM I'I MAY CONCERN: l

Be it known that I, CARL I-I. SGHUBEUS, of Newark, in the county of Essenyand State oflew Jersey, have invented on Improved Travelling-Beg Lock; and I do herehy'deelare that the following is n. full nndexaet description et' the seme, reference being hed to theaccompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon. V' A Figure 1 is o perspective view of" the lock A from the' front when nttnehed to' :t bag-frame, B D, by the rivets C C. The lock is riveted lto the beck piece ofthe fr nnie D. Italso shows the cri-tch E, fast to the front part of the frame, and running heck .through n slot, F, in the knob G. '.lhe'knobv is lzh'ger below the top of the lock, and is thus prevented from coming out above. The position ot' the catch and knob is better seen in fig. 3, which isn transverse cut across the middle of the lock. There is also in iig. 1 a. View of the spring II,

resting nnder'the shoulder I of the knob, te Dressit np 'and hold the catch fast in thevslot. V'.lhe end of the.

spring is seen in iig. 3. l

When the bolt K, Figure 2, is no t turned by the'key under the shoulder Ii, the knob may be pressed dow'n and the Catch liberated without the use of the key.v So also it may he sprung shut, when desirable, in common use. The key on the stem M slides the spring-bolt K to the right, as seen in iig. 2, which is a. buck view of the inside of the lock, and the wide part N ofthe bolt slips under the shoulder Ii, and prevents the knob being pressed down or the bag being opened.

Figure 3 shows the bolt in this position. 'lhe platte O onI the bottom of the lock allows it to he attached to frames where the two pieces come together, or where the one slips inside of the other.

I have, then, in this invention n. lock adapted to the iliil'erent .st-.yles of frnnies, end one that combines :t

spring-catch and a. permanent lock. The whole is simple, compact, :1nd effective.

What I elaine as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is v The plete O, knob G, spring II, bolt K, and catch E, substantially :is herein described, :1nd for the purposes named. CARL II. SCIIUBEUS.
